Application Themes

This spring we have chosen the following as the focus areas for our grant giving:

Addressing inequalities and/or breaking barriers*

*However, we welcome applications that help the community in other ways.

If your application is being considered for grant funding we will contact you to arrange an interview to take place between May 27 – June 1. The interview will be your opportunity to talk to members of Northfield YouthBank about your good idea in more detail. After the interview and further review by our team, you will learn if your group has been selected to receive a grant. If you have any questions about the application, feel free to contact us at northfieldyouthbank@gmail.com.

creating opportunities for youth in Northfield to have access to necessary resources (e.g. textbooks, school supplies, clothing, personal hygiene items, etc.), inviting speakers to address gender and racial inequality, a support group, or a workshop about the various cultures present in our community.

Some of the projects YouthBank has funded in the past include:

a scholarship pool for the TORCH Youth Advisory Board to distribute to youth in need of money to take Driver’s Ed and Behind the Wheel courses or to buy PROM tickets, an LGBT+ support group, free yoga classes at the high school, funding for a washer and dryer at the Key, revitalizing a park by Viking Terrace, and Marnita’s Table and Game Night events.

The more your idea fits the grant requirements, the better the chance you will have of receiving funding.
